" A Perfect Circle"

Chapter 3

" Naked"

Sakura

Why did history have to be so boring sometimes? I honestly don't care what had happened in another country hundred of years ago and I really don't give a crap what they used as silverware! Anyways I don't know why but I have been in such of a horrible mood lately and my lower back has been killing me. I guess it's that time of the month and I think I am getting that stomach virus that is spreading around. Even Ino didn't go to school today because she had text me this morning saying she was too sick to go. I was throwing up right before I got ready for school and I even threw up while walking to school, thankfully I don't think anyone saw me behind the bushes.

" Sakura."

I hear Mr. Iruka, my history teacher call out my name and I looked up and smiled at him or well tried too. I was getting that feeling that I was going to be sick again very soon. Maybe I shouldn't had gone to school today but if I tried to stay home I knew my dad would be disappointed in me and Sasuke would think that I was being pathetic so I didn't let any of my family members know that I was feeling sick and kept my distance from them.

" Are you feeling okay? You look a little pale."

Mr. Iruka asked me in a concern tone of voice but before I could nod my head and brush off the feelings, I had the urge I was going to be sick and I quickly opened up my school bag just enough time to not make a huge mess. I heard my classmates gasp out and make disgusting noises but I continued on with my buisness. I felt a hand on my back and when I knew that I was done, I looked up to see my teacher.

" Sakura, I think you should go to the clinic. Naruto, can you take Sakura to the clinic?"

Mr. Iruka turned and asked Naruto who was also in my class along with Sasuke. I knew Naruto was going to say yes to his favorite teacher. I slowly got up from my seat and looked over at Sasuke who was NOT glaring at me. I must say this was the first time in history that he has not glared at me in school. He had a concern look on his face before he turned his head and looked over at his best friend while Naruto was walking to the classroom door, waiting for me to follow him. I was about the take my nasty bookbag with me but Mr. Iruka stopped me.

" Don't worry about your bag... I'll take care of it."

Mr. Iruka smiled at me and I smiled in returned and let go of my book bag and walked over to Naruto then left the classroom. I have a feeling Mr. Iruka was just going to throw my bag away and replace my books. Thankfully my new cellphone that Sasuke had gotten for me was not in there. The whole walk to the clinic was silent between me and Naruto. I know that he is Sasuke's best friend but there was something about him that seemed a little off.

" Are you feeling any better?"

Naruto asked while I was surprised that he was even talking to me. I just shrugged my shoulders, indicating that I wasn't fine but I was feeling a little bit better.

" Well you put on quite a show back there. I almost wanted to throw up after seeing what you did to your book bag. Mr. Iruka must really like you if he offered to take care of your bag for you."

I could tell that Naruto was trying to make the situation better and I smiled at the blond. I took out my cellphone out of my pocket and typed something then showed him my phone.

Thanks for trying to make me feel better :) I can see why Sasuke has you for a best friend. He really cares about you. I can tell.

Naruto smiled back at me and patted my head which took me off guard.

" Hey Sakura, maybe we should hang out sometime... you know ever since you and Sasuke became brother and sister, I have never really hung out with you before unless Sasuke was with us and you seem like a pretty chill person to hang out with."

Naruto offered to me and I didn't know what to think of this situation. Is Naruto asking me out? I quickly typed something on my phone then showed it back to him.

I don't know... I will think about it okay?

I could see Naruto frown at my response then he plastered a fake smile on his face.

" It's okay, I shouldn't be acting this way when you aren't feeling well."

Naruto responded but this whole conversation was just making me sicker. Why is he suddenly trying to be nice to me and ask me out when he usually doesn't give a crap about me. Did Sasuke tell him to start being nice to me? Or is it something else? I just smiled back at him and the rest of the walk remained silent until we reached the school clinic. We saw Shizune, the school's nurse look up and smiled at us.

" Hey guys, how may I help you today?"

Shizune asked in her sweet tone of voice. I get along with Shizune pretty well because she also wants to become a doctor one day.

" Yeah, Sakura isn't feeling too well and puked in the classroom."

Naruto said while I glared at him. I am so embarrassed right now I wish I could find a hole to rot in.

" Oh no. Do you think it's that nasty Stomach virus going around?" Shizune asked me and I nod my head.

" Okay, Naruto you can go back to class now. I'm going to call Sakura's relatives and have someone pick her up." Shizune said.

" Alright." Naruto told the nurse then turned to look at me.

" I hope you feel better Sakura."

Naruto said then smiled at me while I smiled back and nod my head then I watched him walk out so he could go back to class.

" Sakura while you are waiting for someone to come get you, you can lay down on one of the beds over there." Shizune said and I nodded.

I walked over to a empty bed while nurse Shizune was trying to find someone to pick up the phone. I closed my eyes, trying my best to take a nap but it wasn't working. I hardly ever sleep anymore, I just play video games or go us the Internet when I can't sleep. I felt my phone vibrate and looked down to see that it was Sasuke who was sending me a text message. I could feel my smile stretch out on my face.

Sasuke: Are you okay? What's wrong?

Aww Sasuke is actually being worried about me! I won't let my feelings for him resurface though. He is my brother and I can't be in love with my brother now. Before I could reply, Shizune walks over to me with a smile on her face.

" Alright Sakura, I couldn't get in touch with ether of you parents but I called the third person on your list and he said that he is on his way to come with you."

Shizune said while I smiled back and nod my head, letting her know that I get the message and after I watched her walk away, I replied back to Sasuke.

Sakura: I think I have a stomach virus that is going around. Someone is going to come pick me up right now.

I replied then closed my eyes once more, waiting for my cell to go off and it did.

Sasuke: Who is going to come get you? Mom and your father are at work. I am on my way there and I will take you home.

I can't believe that I am talking to Sasuke Uchiha here.

Sakura: No it's okay, Shizune has already called someone and they are on their way here.

The relationship between Sasuke and I you can say has changed over the past two months. I guess you can say he has been kinda nicer to me like right now. It's swear I think he is becoming bi polar or something because whenever he is with Naruto, which is basically all the time or with anyone else including our parents, he acts like I am his worst enemy but if we are alone, he doesn't bother me like he used to.

Sasuke: Who?

I smiled at another message but before I had a chance to respond, I heard my name being called out. I turned over to see Itachi, Sasuke's older brother walking over to me. I smiled and waved at him.

" Hey I heard that you aren't feeling too good." Itachi said as he watched me nod my head.

" Okay, lets take you back to the apartment." Itachi said then helped me get off of the bed. I looked down on my phone and replied back to Sasuke.

Sakura: I have to go now. Itachi is here.

Me and Itachi started walking out of the clinic when I received another text message.

Sasuke: HE IS PICKING YOU UP? FINE! Whatever. I will be coming to get you right after school ends.

I began to giggle at his comment.

Sakura: Okay :)

When Itachi and I arrived at his apartment, we were instantly greeted by his friends Sasori, Deidara and his roommate Kisame. Sasori was sitting on one side of the couch, Deidara was sitting on a chair while Kisame walked into his room. Itachi had moved out of his parent's home when he was 21, before our parents had gotten together and now at the age of 24, he works as a bartender at a very classy restaurant. The pay there is pretty good.

Ever since I had met Itachi, we have been really close. I guess it kinda helped when the first time we had a family dinner together and Itachi had came over to the house. I was hanging out in my bedroom after dinner, ready to do a line on my bed until my door opens up, revealing the older Uchiha who was looking for the bathroom and went to the wrong door. Apparently we had a thing in common and we ended up doing an eight ball together. It was the start of a beautiful friendship.

Unfortunately, Itachi and Sasuke don't get along at all. I never had any idea why until that one night when Sasuke had told me a part of his past. Itachi thinks that his brother hates him because he was always the favorite, even after his parents had decided to split up. Itachi is still very close to his father while Sasuke only gets to talk to him on the holidays.

I walked over and took a seat next to Sasori while Itachi sat down next to me. I always love hanging out with Itachi's friends but Sasuke can't stand them.

" So I hear this little princess here isn't feeling too well." Sasori said while I playfully stuck my tongue out at the red headed male.

" If you keep sticking your tongue out like that, I will put it to good use."

Sasori smirked out while I immediately put my tongue back into my mouth and widen my eyes. Everyone around us began to laugh except for me. I was now pouting. I felt someone pat me on the head and I turned to look and saw Itachi smirking at me.

" Foolish little sister." Itachi said then I playfully punched him in the shoulder.

" Hey! She doesn't look sick."

Kisame said as be walked out of his room. I looked down at his hands to see that he was carrying a bag of powder and walked over then placed the bag on the table. When I heard him say that, I realized that I was feeling a lot better but I was still feeling very tired.

" How are you feeling?" Itachi asked and I took out my phone and typed a response then showed the older Uchiha my phone.

I don't feel sick anymore but I feel really tired.

" I'll be right back."

Itachi said as he got up from his seat and walked over to his room. Kisame took his seat and I watched him as he began to create small white lines on the table with the powder in the bag that he had been holding. He rolled up a dollar bill and inhaled one of the small lines then handed me the dollar. I leaned down with the dollar in my nose, ready to take in the small line of pleasure but I was stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked to see that the hand belong to Itachi and I was him a questionable look then he shook his head.

" You shouldn't be doing that kind of stuff if you are feeling sick." Itachi said.

Silly man, I did a line this morning right after I had puked my guts out in the bathroom at home. Thankfully everyone was downstairs so no one had heard me. He then held out a glass of water for me that I took then I saw him take a pill out of his pocket. I noticed that it was a xanex. My all time favorite kind of pill.

" Take this then go got my bedroom and lie down. You need your rest."

Itachi said then I nod my head and placed the pill in my mouth before drinking my water up. I always love how this pill makes me feel and it always helps me go to sleep.

" Okay princess, it's time for you nap time."

Deidara said then I glared at him. I really didn't want to go to sleep. I wanted to stay up and hang out with the boys but my body wanted to rest. I got up from the couch and walked into Itachi's room. I fell on to Itachi's bed and decided to flip open my phone before I close my eyes and take a nap. I hit a few buttons until I got to my text messages that Sasuke had sent to me while I was in the school's clinic earlier that day. I smiled at his concern then snapped my phone shut. I then closed my eyes, letting the sleep overcome me.

I was sleeping peacefully until I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I slowly opened up my eyes to see Sasuke hovering over me while Itachi and Deidara were behind him. I smiled at the Uchiha then sat up on the bed.

" I'm here to take you home." Sasuke spoke out then I took out my cellphone and typed him a message.

Thank you for texting me while I was at the clinic. It made me feel a lot better.

I smiled and showed him my phone but my smile had been wiped off of my face when I saw him begin to frown then he turned his head so he wouldn't look at me.

" What the hell are you talking about? Why would I want to waste my texts on someone like you?"

Sasuke spat out as he pushed the phone away from him. I gave him a weird look because I know that it was his phone that had text me and I went through my phone then showed him all the messages that his phone had sent me.

" Ha! The little brat cares for our little princess." Deidara yelled out.

" Little brother, you are growing up." Itachi. I looked up at Sasuke's expression and now he seems more angry than before.

" I didn't send you those texts. I gave Naruto my phone earlier so it was him who was messing with you. I could care less that you were throwing up earlier."

Sasuke said while I felt my chest hurt. Was Naruto the one who sent me all of those messages or is Sasuke lying to me? I couldn't tell if Sasuke was lying to everyone because he won't even look at me anymore. Disappointed in his response, I got off of the bed and walked pass everyone in the room. I walked over to the front door, waiting for Sasuke to hurry up so we can go home. I just want to be alone now since I made a complete idiot out of myself. I am such a fool to think that Sasuke would actually give a damn that I was feeling sick. I mean if it was him that had sent me the messages, shouldn't he be asking me how I was feeling now?

I watched as the men walked out of the bedroom and I noticed Sasuke's right cheek was a little red while Itachi looked a little happy and Deidara was chuckling to himself. Itachi walked up to me and opened up the front door. After he did that, he bent down so his lips were right near my ear.

" Don't be sad. I took care of our very stupid brother."

I looked at him with confusion written all over my face while Itachi winked at me.

" Fuck, lets go! I don't have all fucking day!" Sasuke growled out as he grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me out of the apartment.

When we got to his car after a long silent walk, I noticed that Naruto was in the passenger's side of the car. I took the seat behind him in the back of the car while Sasuke took the driver seat. I was actually really surprised that Naruto didn't even acknowledge me when I had gotten into the car. I watched him as he took out a cigarette and began to smoke after lighting it. I looked over at Sasuke who I noticed wasn't smoking.

" What took so long? I am starving!" Naruto whined out.

" Annoying brother, I swear I hate him so much."

Sasuke mumbled out as he turned on the car and began to drive off. While I was sitting in the back seat, I was wondering why Naruto hadn't asked Sasuke about why his cheek was red even though I am pretty sure that Itachi had slapped him in the face. Did he just not noticed or did he just not care? Naruto pulled out another cigarette and offered it to Sasuke and I was surprised when Sasuke declined.

" Why don't you want a cigarette? As long as I have known you, you have never turned down a cigarette." Naruto asked him.

" Because I'm not in the mood right now." Sasuke said.

" That is such bullshit! You are always in the mood to have a smoke so here you go." Naruto said.

" No, I'm good." Sasuke answered his best friend.

" What the hell? What happened when you went to go get your step sister?" Naruto demanded.

" Nothing happen okay! I just don't want to be smoking right now and you shouldn't be smoking at the moment ether!"

Sasuke blurted out while me and Naruto's eyes widen. I have never heard Sasuke snap out at Naruto like that and what did he mean about not smoking at the moment.

" What did you just say?"

Naruto growled out as I was still confused over this situation. Sasuke then realized what he had said because I could see his body tense up. Sasuke then sighed out and grabbed the cigarette that Naruto was still holding out for him and lit it up.

" Much better. Now there is the Sasuke that we all know and love." Naruto said.

" Whatever." Sasuke mumbled out then he rolled down all of the windows, including the ones in the back where I was sitting.

" Why are you rolling down all of your windows? I thought that you liked them up whenever we smoke." Naruto asked.

" I just want a change." Sasuke said.

" Are you sure you are feeling okay?" Naruto raised an eyebrow at him.

" Hn." Sasuke responded.

" So Sakura, we saw your bitchy friend earlier?" Naruto was now talking to me. I pulled out my phone and typed a message then showed it to him.

Who?

Naruto looked over at me and gave me a weird look that I did not understand.

" The blond one who is dating that lazy guy." Naruto responded. My eyes widen as I typed another message.

Where did you see her at? Was it at school? She is suppose to be at home because she has the stomach virus like me.

Naruto laughed at my statement which made me even more confused.

" What did she say?" Sasuke asked Naruto because he couldn't look over at my phone since he is the driver.

" She is saying that the bitch is apparently sick. And no she wasn't at school, we saw her at the mall." Naruto grinned at me.

Ino is not a bitch

I showed him my phone and he shook his head.

" The things that you don't know. Oh yeah she isn't even sick."

Naruto said. Ino wasn't sick? The why wasn't she at school today? Well she could have gotten better. I am feeling a lot better than I did this morning.

The rest of the car ride remained silent and when Sasuke parked the car, I noticed that Naruto was getting out of the car as well. The three of us walked into the house and the two guys walked ahead of me. When I noticed that Naruto had already entered Sasuke's bedroom, I grabbed Sasuke by the wrist and yanked him near my doorway.

" What."

Sasuke said as he sounded frustrated. I don't really know why I had stopped him. I guess I still felt bad that his cheek was still red. I shouldn't though. He was being a jerk to me like always and Itachi was putting him in his place. But I feel like I should do something for him. Anything! I then placed my hands on his chest and stand on my toes and lightly kissed him on his redden check then pulled away just to see Sasuke's surprised face then I quickly ran away to my room, closing the door behind me. I exhaled, still not believing that I had just done then I felt my phone going off and looked down and it was a text message from Sasuke's phone. I opened it up and my eyes widen when I had read it then heard his door shutting.

Sasuke: Thank you

Later that night, I was watching the movie, " The Watchmen" that had just come out and I had a sudden urge to go take a shower. I paused my movie and walked out and went into the bathroom and enjoyed my relaxing shower. When I stepped out of the shower, I looked around and noticed that I had forgotten to bring a towel with me. I was thinking about my options that I should use in a situation like this. Sasuke should be a sleep now since it was around two in the morning and there was no way I was going to put my dirty clothes back on my drench body. Can you say ew? So I did the only option that I had left.

I took a deep breath, knowing I had to make a run for it to me room while being naked. I opened up the bathroom door and began to rush out but right as I got out of the bathroom, my body collided with something hard so I stepped back and slipped on my red bra that was still on the floor. I felt a hand trying to catch me but I ended up taking the person down with me. I had my eyes closed during the impact and opened my eyes to see that Naruto was now on top of my naked body.

What in the world was he doing here anyway. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I don't remember hearing him leaving. Damn. He was too busy staring at my chest that he didn't notice the tears that were forming in my eyes from embarrassment and fear that he would take advantage of me like when Sai had raped me. I heard a coughing noise so me and Naruto turned our heads to see a very angry Sasuke Uchiha.

" Oh..hey...Sasuke." Naruto said.

" Naruto...get off of Sakura. Now!"

Sasuke growled out and Naruto immediately got off of me. I noticed that Naruto was blushing really hard then I looked over at Sasuke and well he had his back turned. I was wondering what was up with the two guys then I realized that I was still naked. Crap.

" I thought you were leaving Naruto." Sasuke growled out some more.

" Well I was going to but then I realized I needed to go use the bathroom. But... I think I will just hold it in until I get back to my place. Um... Bye!"

Naruto said then rushed out of the house while I was still lying on the bathroom floor. It wasn't that I wanted to expose myself. It was because my back was still hurting from the fall. I slowly got up and I noticed that Sasuke was still standing there. I would had figured that he would had gone back to his room by now. I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around and he immediately froze. I really don't know why I was still in the hallway with nothing on but I guess a tiny part of me secretly wanted to see what Sasuke's reaction would be if he ever saw me naked.

And now I know.
